To repeat something the JAWS scripting community has known for years,
there is a need for a web site that aggregates and updates links to JAWS
script packages. It needs to be as comprehensive as possible, and there
needs to be a way for a script developer to post a description and a link
to the site. The site should be able to host script packages for
developers who do not have their own web sites.
I know of a blind expert in Drupal and PHP who developed a site for me
http://NonvisualDevelopment.org
under my direction within the Drupal framework. He is a computer science
student who is willing to do such work very cheaply at this time: for $5
an hour! One of his own sites is
http://Blind-Planet.com
I propose that we develop a consensus design via discussion on this
list, and then collect contributions to pay for such work. I think the
Drupal framework is the best content management system to use for this at
present, certainly as good as alternatives and one that blind people,
including this developer, have been using. If the webmaster of
JAWSScripts.com is willing, that could be the location of the site.
Otherwise, we can start another.
Reactions?
